One-legged forward bend (Janu Sirsasana)

With head support, two or more minutes on each side. 

Start by sitting with your legs extended in front of you. 

If your lower back rounds when your pelvis is flat on the ground, sit on one or more folded blankets. 

Bring the sole of your left foot near the inside of your right thigh and place a bolster or stack of folded blankets across your straight leg. 

On your inhalation, lengthen your spine.

On your exhalation, fold forward at your hips so your torso comes over your right leg and your arms and head rest easily on the prop.

If your head does not reach the prop, increase the height of the prop or use the seat of a chair to rest your head. Repeat on the other side.
